         MY DAD
        PAUL PETERSEN

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
C majorC           E minorEm
He isn't much in the eyes of the world
    FF       G+G
He'll never make history.
  C majorC           E minorEm
No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world,
  FF         G+G
But he is the world to me.

VERSE:
  C majorC  Am7Am7  FF
My daaaaaaaad,
   E minorEm    C majorC  Am7Am7  FF
Now here is a man.
  E minorEm    C majorC      E minorEm
To me he is everything strong
  FF      G+G
No he can't do wrong,
  C majorC  E minorEm  FF  G+G
My dad,
  C majorC  A minorAm  FF
My daaaaad
  E minorEm    C majorC   Am7Am7  FF
Now he understands
   E minorEm      C majorC      E minorEm
When I bring him troubles to share
  FF      G+G    C majorC  FF  C majorC  BB
Oh, he's always there, my dad.


BREAK:
BB   E minorEm   BB     E minorEm    BB
 When I was small I felt ten feet tall.
   E minorEm    Bm7Bm7   E minorEm  C majorC D7D7
When I walked by his side
 G+G    D7D7    G+G        D7D7
And ev'ry one would say, "that's his son,"
    DmDm           G+G DmDm G+G
And my heart would burst with priiiiide.

VERSE:
  C majorC  Am7Am7
My daaaaaad,
FF   E minorEm     C majorC  Am7Am7  FF
 Oh, I love him so,
  E minorEm    C majorC       E minorEm   FF      G+G
And I only hope that some day my own son will say,
   C majorC   A minorAm  FF
"My dad,
  A minorAm  FF  C majorC   Am7Am7 FF E minorEm C majorC
Now here is a man."
